Mineral Resources and Geological Hazards

The specialization Geology and Ore Deposits Modelling is intended to provide professionals with in-depth knowledge of the magmatic, hydrothermal, metamorphic and sedimentary processes that produce diverse types of mineral deposits, and prepare them to apply this knowledge in exploration. Students will also acquire skills in the most modern quantitative methods used in the characterization and evaluation of mineral resources.

The specialization Geological Hazards seeks to equip students with knowledge of the techniques used in cartography, analysis, modelling and evaluation of any danger or hazard posed by potentially destructive geological phenomena and processes. Students will also acquire skills in the methods and techniques currently employed in strategies aimed at mitigating geological hazards.
